soundrayDid you say it was working normally and started lagging after this powerfailure?00:49
tabakhase_after the fail my windows didn´t worked anymore00:50
tabakhase_so i switched to my old ubuntu on the other partition00:50
tabakhase_works fine00:50
tabakhase_update to 8.x, lags, changed kernel, works00:51
tabakhase_then for month´s everything was fine00:52
tabakhase_and some days ago lag´s started again =(00:52
tabakhase_(while this power fail windows was running) so i was thinkin "typical, damn os! lets get back to my lovly ubuntu"00:53
soundrayYou've got hardware trouble. I think this will continue until you replace the disk. Make sure you backup any valuable data before it dies completely00:54

tabakhase_soundray dies after 10% -> unknown failure01:14
soundrayIt's not worth it. Use your time to raise funds for a new disk instead.01:15
tabakhase_ive got the error i think..01:16
tabakhase_"Error 661 occurred at disk-power lifetime: 15738 hours (655 days + 18 hours)01:17
tabakhase_I think the counter didn`t reset after changing...01:17
tabakhase_but additional, i dont think that could be the error that the system strikes like this...01:18
